BRIGHT's OPPOSITION

LONDON, Oct. 6.-Mr Bright, in a letter
to Mr. Ellis, Scotch Unionist, says: "The
defenders of the union ought to explain
clearly their difference with other Liberals,
who are led, they know not where, by Mr..
Gladstone. A Parliament in Dublin once
created would be difficult TO deal with. Mr.
Parnell sulks at Avondale, silent amid the
tumult he has created, while his lieutenants
are in deep rebellion, and are keeping the
pot boiling in three provinces of Ireland
His right hand clasps Mr.. Gladstone's ON
this side of the Atlantic, the other giving a
fraternal greeting to the gang in New York
by whom the outrages and murders are all
designed, and VINO collect the funds from
which one-half Of the Irish party receives
pay to insult the Speaker of the House Of
Commons and 10 make useful legisla-
tion impossible. MIR. Gladstone
says that future Irish legislation
must satisfy Ireland, meaning Parnell. So
the coming Gladstone bill must run on the
line of the lenders who are paid to play at
rebellion and TO discredit Parliament. The
Liberal PARTY is TO forget its honorable past

is located on the west side. They escaped
by saving a hole probably a foot and a
half square through the roof of their cell.
This gave them admission to the roof OF
the cage from whence tho skylight was
within handy reach.
AT the time of the escape no guards
were on duty, though the jail was lighted
up. Deputy Smalley had locked up at 5
o'clock as usual and Waterman Artist
would have entered the jail four hours
| rter and remained until morning. The
prisoners naturally selected the hour that
they did on account of the absence of the
officials.
The work has been one which has
occupied days in its accomplishment. The
Indications are that everything was planned
with cool deliberation and that they were
prepared to go to any length is evidenced
by the fact that they had weapons in read
mess. These consisted of pieces of iron
weighing about a pound, around which
was securely tied strips of muslin so that
the weapons might be used in the manner
OF slungshots. The secure and clever
manner in which they were arranged
shows the hand of an artist in this pecu-
liar line of business.

HAD THEY CONFEDERArEs
h Strange Individual That sIgnaled
Mccoy.

AS to whether or not the prisoners have
had confederates on the outside who had
arranged the details of the escape subse-
quent to the jail break, is a matter for
much speculation, though few people
have little actual knowledge on the sub
ject. 1t may now b. definitely stated that
it is more than probable that they had
confederates.
During the Mccoy trial there was one
individual who attracted the watchful at
tentIon of the officials. 1t will be remem-
bered that Mccoy was in the habit of
frequently looking back into the audience
and occasionally smiling in recognition Of
an acquaintance. HIS actions toward the
one other man were somewhat peculiar.
They evidently had a code of signals ar
ranged which they perfectly understood,
and worked them successfully without at
tracing general attention. Once when
the stranger stood up Mccoy was looking
straight at him. The stranger raised his
right leg and gave it a peculiar circular
uOfcueut. nj tue SANG mOment he
glanced toward one ofthe windows out Of
which Mccoy land others) looked and
saw a horse already saddled and bridled.
Their eyes met again and both men
smiled.
This man has remained in town ever
since the trial without engaging in any
business. The supposition of those on
the inside is that he has arranged for q
series of fresh horses to bear Mccoy to
certain liberty. 1t is believed that the
murderer has struck for the northern
country, where he has many friends,
some of whom do not bear the names
their parent gave them. These men will
make every sacrifice to aid McCoy's es
cape, and unless he is captured within
twenty four hours the chances of coming
up with him grow beautifully less.
The rope dangling from the outside of
the Jail is another evidence in favor OF
the confederate theory.

Owing to the crowded condition of the
Jail necessitating the placing of four and
even five prisoners in a cell it was found
necessary recently to enlarge The ac-
commodations. The contract was let to q
st. Louis firm which constructed a
second iron cage containing cells which
they built upon the top Of the first cage.
This cage is smaller than the one upon
which 1t rests, and is reached from the
main hoor by a pair of steps. The cage
Is built entirely of iron and steel, latticed
In front. but the fiat roof is composed of a
Solid sheet of iron, one-quarter of an inch
thick. From the top of this cage to the
ceiling of the Jail is a distance of less
than three feet. On the Ceiling Just over
the cage is a sky. light, reached by a fun
mel shaped hole that pierces through the
roof OF the Jail and barely admit the pas
sage OF a mans body.
Standing at any point in the corridor
below 1t is impossible to see what i,

WHO THEY ARE.
The Crooked Records OF the Escaped
QuarIette.

The quartette of criminals which is at
presen, the object of so much solicitude
On the part of the authorities is composed
of Dan Began, alias VIM. McCoy, Chas.
FL. Leroy, Jas. Carr, alias Jas. Jones
and WIN. Z. Sterry.
Dan Began, alias VIM. Mccoy. is a
Texas desperate, and a fugitive from that
state, where he stands charged with the
murder OF one Doll Smith. Prior to his
arrival in Wyoming he shot down a dance
house keeper in the Panhandle country
and was accused of completely in the as
sassination OF a prosperous ranchman in
Hamilton county, Tex. He stands con
victed of the wanton murder of Chas.
Gum at Lusk on Jan. Is, Of the present
year. Mccoy is a reckless and blood
Thirsty character, and the assertion is
ventured that he will not be captured
alive.
Chas. 81. ReRoy aspires to the reputa-
ton of being a bad man. He was tried
for horse stealing here a short time ago.
The jury disagreed, but before a new
trial could be had he was released on a
technicality. He returned to the jail for
the alleged purpose of interviewing a
female inmate of the institution, was or
dered to leave by the guard and attacked
that individual. He was again incarce
rated. was detected in an attempt to es-
Oana orratYpa1 nm thoN olo-- IL
bound over to await the action of the
grand jury. Ever since Leroy made
his appearance in this country it has
been suspected that he was a member
of a band of Texas stage robbers and
train wreckers.
James Carr, alias James Jones, Is a
burglar, safe blower and all around crook.
Next to Mccoy he is the most dangerous
of the escaped prisoners. He was the
ringleader OF the determined attempt
at a wholesale delivery made some two
months since. Jones burglarized the safe
of Herman Haas, the implement dealer,
and the room of a kirl named Minnie
Moore. He was ap%prehended and ar
rested by Policeman Thommasson. The
burglar is IN expert machinist and an
intelligent man, and it was undoubtedly
he who laid the plans and formed the
avenue for escape from the steel strong
holds. He is a physical giant and not
lacking in nerve. The officials believe
that he will resist capture as desperately
as Mccoy.
But little is known of VIM. @. Sterry
beyond the fact that he is bound over
until the next session of the grand Jury
charged with the theft of a horse from
Moran Bros, of the Sabille.

The Very Latest.

Between midnight and daylight this
morning several telephone messages were
received from various ranches asking for
instructions, etc.. but conveying no in
telligence as to the whereabouts of the
fugitives. At as early an hour as prac-
ticable this morning a thorough research
of the city will be made, it being the i'm
preston Of the officials that while Mccoy
has undoubtedly placed many miles be-
tween himself and Cheyenne, the remain
ing trio may be in hiding near the sub
urbs of the city.

Y. NJ. C. A. EXERCISES.
A Delightful Entertainment Provided a
Large Audience.

Several hundred people were present
last evening at the first OF a series of re.
ceptipns given by the Y. NJ. G. A. at
their hall on Ferguson street. The exer-
clses commenced at quarter past s with a
quartettee by the Presbyterian church
choir and prayer by the Rev. R. E. Field.
A short address was made by the presi-
dsnt of the society, DIR. W. N Hunt, aud
the secretary, Mr.. R. N. Heath, read a
report showing the financial history of
association from its commencement until
the present time.
The report showed that the organiza
ton was made March Is, 1887, WI h
thirty. five members. An appeal to the
citizens of Cheyenne for aid in establish
ing the gymnasium, etc, was responded
to literally, over $1,000 being subscrit ed
in six days towards the support of the
organization. In four months after the
first organization 275 active members were
on the rolls. The gymnasium has had an
average of l2O persons daily to make use
of it, while the reading room and other
departments were equally well ~patronized
by members OF the association and visitors
to the city.
The receipts of the association from all
sources had been $S73.75. OF this sun
1894 had been expended in fitting up the
gymnasium, $7S for the reading room,
1924 for rent, $l08 for salaries, ST. FOL
printing and $5S Tor incidentals. The
outstanding liabilities were stated to be
1921, payment of which is provided for
by members dues to be collected.
The report was received with applause
and the programme as given below was
gone through with in a highly creditable
manner to all the participants:
Vocal solo, Miss Minnie Gillian.
Calesthenic exercise. led by Miss Mo.
Mahon.
Recitation, Miss Sarah G. Frost.
Gymnastics, led by Mr.. Walls.
Pharaphrase for piano, Miss Ada vii.

affair was a delightful and thorough sue

A Jail Break.

Four men clambering to the ground
from the one story brick building in the
rear OF the court house, which serves as q
kitchen and is a part of the county Jail,
attracted the attention of Mrs. William
Morgan, who lives close by. This was al
ten minutes past 8 o'clock last evening.
In the uncertain light the lady imagined
the men to be boys who are in the habit
OF playing in that neighborhood. She
saw them jump over the fence, apparent
ly in no great haste, and. quietly disap-
pear toward the west end of the city, and
for tho time being paid no further atten-
ton to the matter.
The suspicious of an S-year-old boy,
who also sighted the men, was aroused
and he FASTENED to inform the court
house %janitor. Charles Oaks, that four
men had come down a rope from the
roof of the building" That functionary
lost no time in conveying the information
to Sheriff Sharpless.
The sheriff. who continually anticipates
a delivery, Immediately entered the jail
and began a close inspection of the various
cells. The men imprisoned in the first
tier were in their compartments. A
number of them were asleep, several were
reading and the remainder were earnestly
discussing the probabilities of an early
removal to the Missouri penitentiary at
Jefferson City.
Mr.. Sharpless was so certain that no
one could possibly escape from the steel
cells on the second tier that he did not at
first visit them, but instructed the youth
confined for the robbery of the Five Mile
ranch to see il Mccoy, his room mates and
neighbors were in their cage.
The boy glanced hastily through the bars
of the strong steel enclosures and re-
ported hat the tenants of the two rooms
were all asleep. The sheriff was not sat
isfed, however, apprehending that the
rumor of an escape could not reach his
ears unless there was some color of truth
in it. He ordered the boy to carefully
examine the cells. The lad did 80 and
in exciting and trembling tones told the
officer that Mccoy, Jones, Leroy and
Sterry were gone and that dummies
occupied their beds. As a matter of fact
this proved tn be 80 and the beds which
apparently contained living occupants
were made to appear so simply by an
adroit arrangement of the bed clothing.
The four occupants of one cell had flown.

THE INSIDE or THE JAIL.
How 1t Is Arranged for the Accommoda-
ton of Prisoners.

At first blush it seems almost impossi-
bic to conceive how these men could
have sawed out without being discovered.
A short description of the interior of the
Jail will give a better idea Of the thing.
The jail consists Of one large single room
of rather oblong proportions. Imme-
diately in the center is placed a large iron
cage. This IS so placed as to leave a
passage way between itself and the Jail
wall all around the room. In this iron
cage thus occupying the center of the
room are built the cells which contain
the prisoners, each of which opens into a
corridor which is also enclosed by the
cage.
